Good morning, and welcome to the Saints Insider Newsletter for Thursday, May 18. Plenty of news on Saints beat Wednesday... Drew Brees -- Remember him?! -- announced that he has created the "NOLA Pickleball Fest" to benefit his Brees Dream Foundation, with the first event scheduled for this August in New Orleans. Patrick Magee has the story. The Saints' preseason schedule has also been finalized. We know know their opponent and date for the preseason opener at the Superdome, and it's quite the headliner, Terrin Waack reports. And finally, in the latest in a series of offseason moves, the Saints added an offensive lineman to the roster. That's all for today. Thanks for your loyal support and look for more coverage from our Saints beat team throughout the week on NOLA.com. Until next time, Jeff Duncan |
